Wheres FA when you need him, on the bright side least we are top of the league

I will guess/ predict we will win 4 games out of 7

Will that be enough to get into the million pound game

yes, probably 4th so home advantage. There are so few games - 7 - that its going pretty much to be difficult to get away from a straight 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 and 0 points, tho there are some variations on that, especially if three teams all have 8 points so third equal or 6 points so fourth equal, I assume that fourth and fifth would be decided on points difference. the top three all getting 10 points makes no difference nor does the bottom three all getting two points each. I am of course ignoring draws

And this formula is good in one sense: any Championship team getting promotion should be able to make a go of it in SL, indeed if two teams are good enough they get promotion, if none are good enough then none get promoted. Better than one "best of a bad bunch" getting automatically promoted and then annihilated each and every game. My gripe is with the refereeing - it should be the same otherwise the championship sides are at a disadvantage - and that the salary cap is not the same, so that owners who wanted to donate money to their club could do so.

There are a lot of things weighted towards the SL clubs, let's hope arrogance is one of them and one of the Championship clubs can upset the apple cart.

Well, yeah that's true, but with four home and three away you'd assume we'll start, and finish with a home. Though, I agree there are no guarantees, and I wouldn't book any holidays on the strength of it.

Plus, you'll be able to tell by the date if it's going to be the first or second game. But I'd guess that it'd start with the top 4 at home.

Well I heard that it would be first game home the next three away last three home! where they got that from ? I didn't ask.

Given Halifax and Sheffield share their stadiums there might be some working around availability, but the most sensible arrangement would be as you've described...however we recently went nearly 2 months without a home fixture

There is the footy, that's true, though footy is pretty invariably on the Saturday so Sunday games [or even Friday] shouldn't really be a problem. Not sure about the Sky games, though I did hear a rumour they are going to want Saturdays for the middle eights, so we'll have to wait and see what happens on that one.

Nothing would surprise me to be honest.

Sky have said the middle 8's on TV would be shown on Saturdays. Having said that it's unlikely that Halifax FC would have enough home matches for August/Sept to make alternate home/away fixture lists possible.
